Format for completing the journal responses Journal Entry #1 1. “Everywhere rooms lay open. Doors and windows gaped into emptiness. Everything was free for anyone, belonging to nobody. It was simply a matter of helping oneself. An open tomb.” Schindler’s List, p. 15. 2. After Eli and his family were driven into the Jewish ghetto, the Jews were herded up and shipped off to what they thought were brick factories. At this point many of the people have been sent away. All the people were allowed to take is what they could carry. When the author describes the houses as open tombs, he gives a clue to the fate of the owners. Their lives have been snatched away with no time to prepare. 3. I remember seeing the ruins of a Siberian village on TV. It, too, was an abandoned, sad place. All the toys were left out with the hope of little children returning to play their games, plates of food were left on the tables, and beds were not made. 4. The things left behind tell tales of the ones who flee in haste. They are the ghosts haunting the houses. Some people say things don’t matter, but sometimes, I think, they are only the reminder, the silent cry, begging for violence to end. I feel anger about what makes families so afraid that they must flee very quickly and leave their possessions behind. Journal Entry #2 1. “Everywhere rooms lay open.
